Let the year begin! The first event of your study programme is the kick-off. Here, you will meet fellow students from all Tio campuses and take part in inspiring masterclasses taught by well-known professionals.

Sales Week
Get inspired by sales professionals in the first academic year. Listen to their experiences and get training in how to conduct sales.

International study trip and internship

International experience looks great on your resume. Tio gives you many opportunities to go abroad during your studies.

All Tio students gain experience abroad. For example by doing an international internship, a graduation project, a study period abroad or an international study trip. The benefit of foreign experience? You learn to solve problems independently and take initiative. You also get to know other cultures and improve your language skills.

International study trip
You will go on an international study trip once or more times during your studies. Work, learn and discover a new city! Think of destinations like Bilbao, Rome, Prague, Dublin, Berlin or London.

Study abroad
Study abroad for six months or a year at one of Tio's partner universities! With this, Tio offers its students an opportunity for self-development and to become well prepared for an international career. Naturally, a period abroad is also a valuable personal experience. Usually, you live on campus and study in an international class with different nationalities.

If you are enrolled in the four-year bachelor programme, you can opt for the Grand international tour. You then exchange your second-year internship for an extra semester of studying abroad and you study for a year at two different Tio partner universities.

Excursions and activities
Every year, you can participate in various study trips and international excursions, both within and outside the study programme, and join in the activities of student association Cognatio. These include the winter sports trip and the introduction week in the Ardennes.

Erasmus+ scholarship
The Erasmus+ grant is intended for students in higher education who want to study or do an internship in Europe. Whether a student can receive a grant depends on the grant amount made available to Tio. Your study coach can give you more information.

Practical matters
If you are going to do an internship abroad or going to study abroad, your study coach will be happy to help you plan and prepare. Costs should also be considered as they are not included in the tuition fee. These include costs for a plane ticket, accommodation, household expenses and a visa (if you need one). If you receive Dutch student finance, you will be eligible for an allowance for the period your student travel product was inactive during your international internship and study abroad. You may also be eligible for an Erasmus+ grant.

Gain work experience, get a behind-the-scenes look at top companies and discover what really inspires you.

The best study programme naturally includes the very best internship experience. Your internship and graudation project are the real deal! This is where you put your knowledge into practice and take your first steps toward a successful career. The best way to develop skills such as communication, research and cooperation is through practice: by doing. Which we do! Many students consider their internship to be one of the most enjoyable and instructive parts of their study programme.

Choose an internship with a major Dutch company or a successful start-up or broaden your horizons with an internship abroad. You will complete two internships lasting 13 weeks each. This is your chance to immerse yourself in real-world practice!

International internship
A Tio internship lasts at least 13 weeks, but internships abroad may take longer. There is normally a minimum age of 18 years. One thing is certain: the experience is unforgettable! You can also graduate abroad. A great stepping stone to an international career.

Large international network
From ID&T, G-star RAW, and fonQ, to Heineken, Disney, and BMW: Tio has a robust international network and solid connections with major (international) companies across various industries. Ask your lecturers if there are exciting internship opportunities within their network, propose your own internship company, and discuss your ideas with your personal study coach.

Personal guidance
Your study coach is ready to support you with a listening ear and valuable tips. Additionally, you attend internship classes and can always consult with your lecturers. Once you've started, your study coach visits you in your internship location, even if you're working abroad.

In addition to the major, in which you follow the courses of the curriculum, you choose one or two minors to broaden your knowledge. Which minor suits you best?
